    Alternative to Bobbing?

    I assume than that the 5 ton doesn't have an inter-axle differential . . . if it does, then you're sunk unless you lock it. BTW, as noted before, you must lift the rear axle or your turning radius will be worse.

    Help sourcing a HEMTT cab

    Dunno, I'll look, I might have some. Probably better to go with some nice civy ones and paint 'em green. That's what I'm going to do to get better visibility.

    Westy's NUTs are off ....the 5ton that is...lol

    As a good wife, aren't you supposed to help him get his nuts off rather than just watch?

    Electronic (push button) M-series Light Switch

    I burned down another one but I found the cause. I have a three lever one in there for until I decide to do a proper fix. The back EMF from the relays was toasting the IC's. I have since gotten some relays with diodes to short the back EMF. Back EMF from a relay can go in excess of 100V...

    Yes, when Matt offers help, it is wise to accept, he does know what he's doing!

    2011 PNW Mini Rally #4

    I totally agree Matt, the winch is the only part of the crane that is actually smooth and sensitive. Except when using the remote box where it sometimes goes into run-away like you saw at Arlington. Never had a problem with the mechanical valves, just the servo operated ones. I think a chain...

    2011 PNW Mini Rally #4

    Dan and I will need to speak before the date so we can set the vehicles in the best spot for the operation. I'm still trying to feed enough grease into my turntable to get it to move smoothly, it's getting better but it sometimes jumps a bit. I ususlly try not to slew the crane with it loaded...

    Extension to speedo cable?

    I'm pretty sure if you do a search on the internet you can get a new one made without too much trouble. You'd probably need to send your old one in, so they could make sure the ends are correct.

    Run AWAY fast, the green bug is a disease. If you do get infected, you know where to come! :beer:

    Help sourcing a HEMTT cab

    The Mk48 has a sliding roof for the passenger and the HEMTT has a stupid plug. Damon added the sliding roof section to my HEMTT when he built it up.

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    Sneaky bugger. :D

    Thoughts on running 12v Trailer Brakes on 24v

    Or get a battery equalizer that gives plenty of 12V from a 24V system. That's what I'll be using on the HEMTT for all my 12V systems. They run about 97% efficient and only take 3 connections. You can either use the output to power your 12v loads directly OR you can tap the ground side battery...

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    My vehicle takes 8, BUT . . . if I change them out and one or two go bad I'm out looking for them again. So I'd consider either one or two sets, depends on price. Shipping is shipping, it doesn't enter the equation. Packing costs, matter a little bit. BTW, I'm not looking to pick a whole bunch...

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    Story of my life! The good part is, none of mine are leaking, so you can only grab me by my dangily bits so hard. rofl I'd guess, packing and shipping might cost a few bucks too. Soooo how much you want for 8 or 16 of the best of 'em? I just bought a waterpump today on eBay that I don't...

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    That NSN number is in my M977 parts manual. It makes some sense as they all used the same Hendrickson spring walking beam suspension.

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    $52.20 each in a large quantity doesn't appear to be ripping us off at all. I just find it hard to believe that if they were used, they'd put them back into bags.

    How do you test a Hemtt shock absorber

    And are you going to part with any? If so how much? I can't say I NEED any but I may be interested.
